About St. Brendan School

Affording St. Brendan School

Financial Aid
St. Brendan School strives to make a quality Catholic education accessible to everyone. Financial aid is available to those who qualify. For school year 2010-2011, more than $68,375 was awarded to 45 families who applied for funding through the Dolphin Dollars Fund. Applications must be made through the Diocesan FACTS program at www.factstuitionaid.com.

SCRIP Program
In addition, all families are encouraged to participate in the SCRIP program. SCRIP helps families earn tuition credits by simply purchasing gift cards for goods and services they likely would buy anyway. For school year 2010-2011, families earned $18,003 in tuition credits with SCRIP. A percentage of the SCRIP purchase is credited toward your family SCRIP account; as well, a percentage is deposited into the Dolphin Dollars Fund, which reduces tuition costs for families in need. SCRIP vendors include Giant Eagle, Kroger, Kohl\'s, Macy\'s, and several restaurants. For more details, visit our SCRIP home page.

Prepayment Discount
Families who choose to pay tuition in one lump sum in July will receive a 1% discount on their tuition bill. For more information on payment options, visit our FACTS information page.
